-December 29th: Thunder 124, Rockets 94 ? OKC hit 13 threes and had five players in double-figures in this 30-point blowout
-February 20th: Rockets 122, Thunder 119 ? Harden?s revenge came in the form of 46 cold-blooded points, sparking a wild second-half comeback to upset OKC in a shootout.

Series storyline ? All Beard, all the time

Life (in the playoffs) without James Harden begins with a series against James Harden. It?ll capture all the initial headlines heading into Game 1 (as it should), but will only continue if the Rockets can somehow make it a series.
